Ban appeals

This thread is for you that managed to break any of our fundamental rules, but still have the chance to be pardoned for your mistakes.

When you write an appeal you should include what you did, why you did it, why you won't do it again and why we should pardon you. Don't be stingy with your words, a well written appeal has a good chance of getting approved, rather than a poorly written one. It's strongly recommended that you're totally honost. The staff gets quite annoyed by people that exaggerates on how long they have been banned. We have logs that tells us how long someone has been member and how long someone has been banned. We also have systems that tells us who broke which block at given time, who said what at given time etc. In other words lying will be detected and it will ruin your appeal. A good tip is that we are not monsters, even though we throw the ban hammer now and then. We are actually caring and rightful people.

I was banned for griefing. I will admit that I was griefing, but, I do not grief anymore. I now know that griefing is bad and I should never have touched those things I griefed. I am now more interested in learning redstone than trolling.

I'm not gonna lie, I did participate in the build, BUT I find it unfair that only I was banned. Further more I am sorry and I will never do it again. This is the only quality server that is mainly based on redstone (I love redstone, its my passion) and I would really appreciate it if I was unbanned (/pardon n8n82012).

Approved how ever, you don't decide what's fair and what's not when you break rules. The only thing that you can be sure about is that if you break our rules, then we can punish you how we like. We know for a fact that your friend participated more on the building than you. But at that time, that was our choice. Banning one of you, was obviously enough to make it stop, so we do not regret in our choice.

Weeboo was banned 5/15/15 by me for failure to follow directions / excessive entity spam and the ban was lifted by unknown. He has been rebanned because he has repeated the offence on 5/16/15 with witness by another player.

(spammed entities exploiting a mechanic where the chest is removed due to no perms for the region but the contents remain, thus spamming a massive quantity of entities in a very brief moment, player seen doing this and immediately teleporting away from the area to avoid the lag themselves)

Recommending a minimum duration ban for at least 30 days. Reasoning: Player was told not to use that exploit, player continued despite warning and by actions, showed they knew what they were doing. (action: instantly teleporting away from the lag inducing swarm of entities) Player warned again and then spammed spawn with entities and immediately teleported away demonstrating they knew what was going to happen from their actions. Player banned:MSL. Player UNBANNED:Unknown. Then when i login today I found a rather decent quantity of the offending lag producing, entity filled chests, neatly arranged in visitors waiting for a griefer. (i have this on video) -.- Chests removed, no further action taken. A bit later another player comes on and informs me that Weeboo has again spammed spawn nearly lagging them out and they were kind enough to clean up what they describe as at least 500-1000 entities. Then the player tells me that Weeboo came to his plot and did the same thing and again instantly teleported away. Player REBANNED:MSL. I feel that since I was not the only one to witness this action and that this "event" has spanned multiple days and the actions of the player following the "event" proves that this was neither a one time event nor an accident shows sufficient enough disregard to rules, staff, and other players that the extended ban will allow the player to contemplate and fully absorb the consequences of his actions.

I was banned for spam placing Quartz Blocks in the Visitor's Area. I did it mainly because I was bored and didn't have a plot to build on because of the inactivity of staff. The Visitor's Area is filled with junk anyways, so I saw no real risk screwing around. I am sorry and I know now that I shouldn't do that again and I will not do that again. I was starting a CPU with fap and I would appreciate being able to continue building it. (/pardon CrazyGuy108)

I am going to be completely honest, one day I tried to come into the server and it said "Banned for spamming" but I couldn't remember spamming at all. It must have been my younger brother. I am sorry if he spammed. I know you say that you ban accounts not people but I moved into an apartment since I am 20 now and I have no younger brothers to do that anymore. If you can give me another chance I will greatly appreciate that since all I have been wanting to do is share my redstone creations. Thanks!

So i was building in my plot, and i accidently called Eccon a "she". He got really angry and banned me. it said t:0d0h1m0s - 1min timeout, but its been 7 hours and i >still cant log on. Please unban me, i didnt break any server rules whatsoever and i really like stym's redstone server.

ok i admit i was greifing but if you let me back into the server, i SWEAR i wont do it again. its just that i was hoping to find out how some contraptions worked and broke redstone and stuff to find out how they worked. i forgot to fix it afterwards. i also broke stuff cuz i was BORED. no one was helping me make anything and i was clueless (still clueless) and i decided to go and do somthing with my life. soo plz i want to join again, and if i can, that would be great.

Hello, I was banned on my first or second day of being on Stym's. That was around 1 or 2 years ago. I deeply apologize for my actions of greifing the Visitor area. I do not know what overcame me to do such a thing, but you have my word I will no do it again. I belive it was my childish 12 year old actions that made me do such a thing. I am deeply apologetic and promise that this will never happen again. Sorry, Classified5

I was indeed able to confirm that you have been banned for a very long time. It's good to hear that you are sorry and that you are not planning on doing it again. I decided to approve your ban appeal and give you another chance to become a valuable member of our community.

Hello there i am nessabeast my ign is Nessabeast i was banned for griefing in the visittors area 1-3 months ago i honestly forget how long exactly i realize how wrong i wass and i have realized it since i got banned i have hated when people griefed or trolled i did grief because ik was a noob to be honest and i didnt know what to do but know io love helping out and i love to be nice i completely understand why you banned me i will not do this again so please give me one more chance yours truly
-nessabeast

p.s so sorry it took me this long i forgot my password and i since i got banned have been in love with redstone and b efore i was banned this was my favorite server and i was crushed when i got banned

Hello,
I have been banned roughly a year and an half ago for griefing in the visitor area. I really do not remember why I did this, I was probably bored or something, and I was 11 years old back then. I will never do it again because I am now mature enough to assume the consequences of my acts. The main reason I want to be forgiven is because I miss the great helpful communauty of your server. Of course, if you don't want to forgive me, I still want to thank you for making me love redstone. I did a ban appeal a year ago, back when I got banned. The reason I made a new one is because I had a lot of difficulties of talking in English back then, and I can now explain myself much better now and point out my arguments. Anyway, if you unban me, I will be very thankful to you.

If you share the account with that friend and he is still able to use it, it would be dangerous for the server to unban the account :(
If you would be the only owner and got the account from him, so the he can't access without you login in for him, it should be possible...
We ban accounts, not the person's which use accounts, but ofc the person which use it are responsible for the account...
To your question, do not share the account with him, and write another unban request...
On the other hand, he can write an excuse here, and never join the server again, so that you can use this server again!
Ofc the excuse has to be from him and must be legit.

I write to request a ban appeal for my account. As some of you may know, I share my account with a friend who I think may have caused some disruptions to your server some time in the past. I have recently spoken to him about his use of my account. We have come to the conclusion that he will not be using my account anymore, and will buy his own account sometime in the future. I take full credibility for the actions he has caused in having shared my account with him, and dearly apologize for his actions. Now, I am the only one who uses this account, so I can assure you that there will be no griefing of any sort involving this account. I am keen to build with you all, and contribute to the learning as a community about uses and applications of redstone.

I have been banned for world editing heads in. I would like to be unbanned because i only stacked the heads for 100 not realizing that the heads would be of any harm to the player base of the server. It did cause interruptions and caused a bad packet crash but i was logging in on minechat so i could remove it. I thought that the heads would be like a normal block and could be stacked that high but turns out they are a laggy block and would crash when there are a lot of them. I did not know the harm i would cause and I dont know if i was temp banned or banned for ever but i would like to be unbanned.

As you have noticed already, you have been unbanned because it indeed did not seem to be intentional. In the future, please watch out using WorldEdit. Stacking 100 skulls does not sound like it contributes anything to a redstone build.

To me and another admin, your ban appeal does not sound honest enough.
You where changing/destroying builds from others. That's strictly not allowed!
If you want to come back to our server you mustn't change any build from others!

I was banned for griefing the visitors area. I did not know the rules and it was the first time I was on the server. I do not know who banned me but I was banned for life for breaking a few blocks in the floor (I think). I have lost all interest in trolling and greifing and I want to learn redstone and play with my cousin cutecubes. Please give me a second chance. I will do better.

Okay. My friend wanted to play at my computer (Minecraft obviously). He griefed Learners area. I know that he's done a really bad thing.
I'll never let him down to my account. This is not good, but he didn't apologized *sad*. I think he will apologize me and the server.
So sad of him did that. I apologize for him.

Sorry that the answer took so long... We had to understand your ban reason first :P
Point is, it does not only claim griefing in Learner area, also it say you harassed players.
Also 2 staff member did ban you... so it was not a simple ban.
You should protect you account or computer! The excuse you wrote won't be enough (room to improve!)

Hi
I tried normaly log in to the server but faile because I'm "banned: griefing a machine in learner area"
Can I at least have a picture about what have I griefed because I havent griefed anything at least my self in purpose...
It's possible that I have accidentally broken some single block but If there's something bigger it means that someone has hacked my account or then I forgot to logout at my cousins computer :D In that case grief came from my account so I kind of deserve this ban

You want a picture: http://redstone-server.info/node/9724
It was this build, which i was testing and it had some odd malfunctions. I detected, that a single block was missing, so i placed it. But after that there still was malfunctions, i saw that there where about 5-10 essential blocks for a control line removed. All edits where done by your account. I hope that clarifies the reason you are banned.
